Give but give smart.

PSA for those of you who want to help relief efforts in Japan: Make sure that you donate to an organization that Japan is actually accepting aid from! So far Japan has only requested help from Doctors Without Borders, the Red Cross, Save the Children, and a few other organizations. If you give through http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/japan-earthquake-tsunami-relief/ they will disburse your money directly to groups that are already on the ground in Japan.

Also another PSA, shamelessly copied and pasted from [livejournal.com profile] azuire: If you want to send a message to someone in the affected areas where all phone lines are down, NHK will broadcast your message on their TV service. The numbers on which to place your message are 03 5452 8800, or 050 3369 9680. if you are calling from outside Japan, please remember to put +81 before the number.
